What is National Nurses Week?

Every year, National Nurses Week starts with National Nurses Day on May 6 and goes until May 12. Designated by the American Nurses Association Board of Directors in 1994, the week also falls on Florence Nightingale's birthday (May 12), making it the perfect time to recognize the nursing profession, since Nightingale is seen as the founder of modern nursing. In addition to showing appreciation for healthcare workers and all they do, lots of businesses and restaurants will offer special discounts for nurses all week long. If you're a nurse, this makes it a great time to score freebies and deals!
